@Martin Pauly , we all know GAMI gas is fungible with 100LL. Are the GAMI and Swift fuels fungible with each other? If I fill up with G100UL, then land for fuel at an airport selling Swift gas, am I screwed?

Maybe the football coaches are also in charge of airplane maintenance?

@bflynn , since you'll be moving to my neck of the swamp, let me recommend that you invest in some proper mosquito control equipment.

There's no "better," just different, and I loved them both dearly. Here's the simplest way to describe the difference: my maternal grandad taught me how to throw and catch a baseball, my paternal grandad taught me how to play chess and got me started with electronics. Mom's dad was a disabled...

Thank you. (But that seems so inadequate.)

:yeahthat: Some topics that get discussed and examined in PP orals are more likely to kill you than others. I'd be very surprised if anyone ever died because they couldn't explain the difference between AWOS 2 and AWOS 3, or because they didn't know the rules about reporting a DUI. But...

Yes, I'm suggesting that might be the case. Or it might not.

New England sounds like a GREAT idea. Much much better than Florida. Seasonal color changes, delightful blizzards to kill off the mosquitoes, good chowder, people who talk funny,... Just the thing, and not nearly as overcrowded as Florida.

A good instructor should be able to assess learning.

Yep. And there's a difference between teaching a skill and teaching the importance of that skill. When I learned to cave dive years ago, one of the texts we used was Basic Cave Diving - Blueprint For Survival ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Cave_Diving:_A_Blueprint_for_Survival ). Every...

Kermit Weeks’ private grass strip at Fantasy of Flight.

I live in Haines City. Let me know when you’re here and we’ll grab lunch or something.

https://pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/mid-air-at-winter-haven.141979/ It’s busy enough to need a tower and we’re supposed to get a remote tower. It’s been 2.5 years since it was announced and I haven’t seen any progress. The FAA seems to be slow-rolling any and all remote tower...

I highly recommend a leather welding jacket and gloves. And possibly metal armor.

Neither do I, but only one of the three runways seems in decent shape.

I’m based at Winter Haven. Nice airport. Often busy, lots of flight training (Blue Line has a school on the field). Probably a year wait for a hangar, but there are ramp spots available. What else would you like to know?

NOOOOO!!!! Florida is FULL! It’s much too crowded here, the traffic is awful, the gators will eat your dog, the canes will destroy your home, the skeeters will kill your spouse. Besides, it’s much too crowded! And there are too many people here!

UGA is the finest learning institute in the world.

My two favorite teams: Ga Tech and anybody who is beating the U (sic) of Ga. For my other teams, Samford lost to TN Tech today and UCF is presently tied with AZ State, so a mixed bag.

Lesson? Isn’t it self-learning?
